As a former cost analyst for the Post Office, it is quite clear to me that it is having to close outlets as a result of being forced to maintain such a long price freeze by the Labour-appointed regulator, Postcomm despite long since having one of the cheapest postal tariffs in the EU. Respect is due to MPs such as Rudi Vis, and John Marshall before him, in protesting at such public service closures. But perhaps it is time for Martin Bell to stand as an independent Save Our Public Services' candidate.
